Linked Hybrid / Steven Holl Architects
The 220,000 square meter pedestrian-oriented Linked Hybrid complex, sited adjacent to the site of old city wall of Beijing, aims to counter the current urban developments in China by creating a new twenty-first century porous urban space, inviting and open to the public from every side. Filmic urban public space; around, over and through multifaceted spatial layers, as well as the many passages through the project, make the Linked Hybrid an “open city within a city” (read more…)

Mainz Markthäuser 11-13 / Massimiliano & Doriana Fuksas
The building complex is located in the middle of the city center of Mainz, Germany. Its existing “historical” facade shown to the Cathedral in Mainz and its new facade to the Rebstockplatz compose the entrances to a halfclosed inner courtyard, a weather-protected “Piazzetta”. This was designed as a half-open, spatially graduated free space, which extends from the underground level over the ground level and the third level (read more…)

Esseker Center / Produkcija 004
In 2002 we won an urban architectural competition for one of the rare not built plots in the historical center of Osijek. Urban part has to give a solution that will connect the main city square and the promenade along Drava River. The building has to put together: public garage, shopping center, offices and the housing on one side and to fit into the existing urban tissue on the other side (read more…)
I have to go to Beijing to watch the Holl’s building!A few days I will go to Shenzhen to see Vanke Center！
Holl’s building in Beijing is not open to the public unless there is a special event going on. Sorry, I’ve tried to go there but was turned away by the guards at the gates.
I really like the design of Holl but, socially speaking, it’s awful… Rich people can live protected in their tower, with cantilevered bridge far from dangerous ground… It’s a vertical gettho…
I guess they aren’t streets in the sky, but rather just hallways in the sky, then. Too bad. But the Vanke HQ in Shenzhen has grounds that are open to the public, I believe.
not so bad!fighting!one day we can have a place of our own in the buildings!

Steven Holl should rather stick to graphics – his buildings lately suck. They are inhumane – nobody is going to convince me that skybridges are succesful pedestrian streets. Really. He and David Chipperfield will hopefully never work together…
Architecture should not be the result of beautiful graphics.
